Re: Southwest Corner of Michigan
and Washington Streets
Deat Jon:
As ou can imagine, we were disappointed
to learn, via the media, that we were not
sel cted to develop an office building on
the two sites on Washington, between
Mic igan and St. Joseph Streets. As you
wou d expect, we think you made a mistake
in our selection. However, we wish the
Com fined Group the best of luck.

HOLLADAY CORPORATION, REGARDING :

Regular Mee ing - May 22, 1987
4 COMMUNISATIONS (Cont.)
a. Continued...
We would like to proceed with our own
project on the site at the southwest
corner, since Combined has indicated no
interest on that project. We are ready,
willing and able to proceed on that site
in ccordance with the conditions
pre iously established by the
Red velopment Commission. That is:
A. We are willing to pay $115,750.
B. the building will be in excess of
5,000 square feet.
C. Ill parking will be taken care of with
an on -site parking structure, ramp or
access to the St. Joseph garage. In
he event Combined Capital's project
does not proceed, I would assume the
access to that garage would be
available to us as it appears to be to
hem. In any case, no federal funds
ill be required for parking.
D. Jur project should be under
onstruction within a year from date
f contract.
Jon, I ould very much appreciate having this
placed cn the next meeting agenda of the
Department of Redevelopment. We want to move
ahead as quickly as possible in our planning
process.
Sincerely,
John T. IPhair

Mrs Kolata noted that this is an
addition to the agenda and she summarized
the report as follows:
Allied Products is located at 601 W.
Broadway which is in the Studebaker
Cor idor Developent Area and, therefore,
a tax increment financing allocation
area. It is also in the Urban Enterprise
Zon . They are planning to do
app ximately $1,000,000 worth of
per onal property and $375,000 worth of
real property improvements.
Mr. Szarwark explainded that the proposed
imp ovements would be made to the South
Bend Stamping Division of Allied
Products. They plan to put siding on the
existing building as well as injecting
foan insulation at a cost of $300,000.
They will also extend, repave, and fence
the existing parking lot at a cost of
$75,000. In addition, $1,095,000 in
equipment will be added to modernize the
facility and increase productivity in the

metal stamping product line. The modern
equipment is necessary to enable the
company to remain competitive with
increasing domestic and foreign
competitors. It is not expected that the
improvements will create any new jobs but
will enable Allied Products to retain 30
existing permanent full time jobs
representing an annual payroll of
$600,000.
Mrs Kolata noted that the estimated cost
of he personal property abatement is
$91 414.00 and the cost of the real
pro erty abatement would be $66,343.00.
Upon a motion by Mr. Piasecki, seconded
by Mr. Combs and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved Resolution No. 802
approving an application for real and
personal property tax abatement for
Allied Products Corporation.

7. PROGRE�S REPORT (Cont.)
Mr. Pi secki made a motion that the Commission
go on ecord to oppose parking meters
downto n. Mr. Combs seconded the motion and
the mo ion was carried.
Gary Sieber inquired about the reason for the
Commission's opposition to parking meters.
Mr. Nim z indicated that it was based on the
public's opposition. They feel parking meters
are too inconvenient. Ms. Auburn indicated
that pa t experience has shown them to require
too muc maintenance, also.
Mrs. Ko ata noted that the mention of parking
meters as a possible solution to controlling
the length of time people park downtown has
been blown out of proportion. It was only one
of the possibilities mentioned and not the
recomme ded solution.
Mrs. Schwartz stated that City Controller,
Michael Vance and the City administration were
also opposed to the use of parking meters.
Norm St ngland asked about the status of
Holladay Corporation's project at the corner
of Wayn and Michigan Streets. Mrs. Kolata
reported that the.principals of the interested
company have not made a decision yet.
